Abstract

This study aims to present the process of designing, testing and validating measurement instruments to measure the school climate from the perspective of students from the 7th grade of primary education onwards, as well as their teachers and managers. We reviewed the national and international literature on the subject, built the concept, the reference framework formed by eight interrelated dimensions and the measurement instruments. Based on a sample of 11,516 respondents, we carried out the statistical and qualitative analyzes concerning the validation process: evidence content and construct validity. The dimensions and their respective items indicated good componential load and good reliability indices, which validates the measurement instruments.
